The Houston auto service company Jiffy Lube International, which specializes in quick oil changes, raised more than $600,000 nationwide in August during its drive to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association, according to a press release Monday.

The drive was part of Jiffy Lube's Muscle Up campaign, a seven-year partnership with MDA that has raised a total $6 million to help children suffering from life-threatening neuromuscular diseases that limit their strength and their mobility to the week-long MDA Summer Camp.

"Our thanks to the (Jiffy Lube) franchisees, service center employees and customers who help us so we can continue" find urgently needed treatments and cures for those diseases, MDA President and CEO Lynn O'Connor Vos said in a statement. "We look forward to continuing our partnership with Jiffy Lube for years to come."
